Brought up on a diet of books and family dinner parties, it's hard to ascertain which came first, my love for words or my infatuation with food. Luckily, a writing career that started at local food magazine meant I didn't have to choose between either. After cutting my teeth in publishing, I'm now a freelance food, wine and travel writer. In between my bowls of bak chor mee and plates of prata, you can find me in various corners of the world digging into streetside fare, trawling museums and practising hand signals with locals.
